[2112 live clip from 1979 PinkPop festival]

One of the coolest clips I've ever seen of 70s-era Rush live is this clip of La Villa Strangiato from a June 4, 1979 show at the Pinkpop festival in Geleen, Holand; the last performance of the Hemispheres European tour. Another clip from this show recently popped up on YouTube. It's only a minute long and in black-and-white but good quality otherwise. It shows a portion of the song 2112: Presentation and then cuts to the last few bars of La Villa Strangiato. Several pans of the crowd are also interspersed. It looks like it might be from a news broadcast of some sort, but I can't be sure. You can check it out here.
